The process consists in casting an insert in a first mould, in arranging the insert thus cast in a second mould and in casting the part in this second mould around the insert, so as to form a mechanical link between the two castings. The wear-resisting part thus cast advantageously comprises an insert with a high resistance to wear, whilst the rest of the part is made from a more ductile material ...

A pneumatic tire manufactured with a sector mold consisting of a plurality of arc-shaped segments comprises a plurality of island rows of ribs (9-12) or blocks (5-8) in its tread portion and sipes (13-15) formed in at least one island row. Among these sipes, the depth of a sipe located in the vicinity of a position of a tread surface corresponding to an edge of the arc-shaped segment is made shall...

Method for manufacturing, by means of co-laminating, bars of a steel forming a medium or high alloy with a mild steel. It comprises bars (1) consisting of alloyed steels obtained by means of powder metallurgy and whose compacting gangue (matrix) (5) has been conserved.

The electromagnet has a spring loaded armature (6) with a piston (5) and a core (4) around the piston (5) fixed inside a frame (1). A spool body (2) and coil (3) are arranged around the armature (6) and core (4). After the coil (3) is excited, the armature (6) partly dipped in the core (4) reaches the system against the force of a return spring (7) around the piston (5). It is held at a given dist...

A process for the production of iron from ferrous raw materials in a converter containing an initial iron smelt into which at least fuels, oxygenous gases and ferrous raw materials are introduced during the production phase, the reaction gases being afterburned with oxidizing gases in the gas space of the converter above the smelt and the resulting heat transferred to the iron bath, and a partial ...

Lead dioxide residues on conducting surfaces are advantageously removed by cathodic reduction. A new lead dioxide layer can be directly applied to the surface thus cleaned by cathodic oxidation.

In a thread process an old used thread (23a) is joined with a new ready-to-use thread (23b) by applying pressurised air to whirl them round within a whirl chamber (112). Both new and old threads are partly loosened in the whirl chamber, the old one because of drawing out into a corresp. long loose loop (24) and the new one because of its free ends. The two threads are firmly held after the whirlin...

The steering control characteristics of the vehicle are determined by the difference in the actual slew measurements and the computed measurements. The driven wheels are monitored and correction applied to compensate for wheel spin, either by reducing the engine torque and/or by individual braking control. The slew monitoring takes into account the steering settings of the front- and rear wheels. ...

A blood filtration device (16) encapsulates a filter pad assembly (20) within a flexible housing (18). The filter pad assembly (20) includes first and second filter media layers (44, 46). A first heat and pressure sealed region (28) integrally bonds the peripheries of the first and second media layers (44, 46) together. The flexible housing (18) comprises a peripheral rim (34) aligned with the fir...

An umbilicus (24) conveys fluid between a stationary body and a rotating body in a small, compact operating environment. The umbilicus comprises an elongated body (200) including a proximal end, a distal end, and a middle region between the proximal and distal ends. A first support block (204) is attached to the proximal end. A second support block (206) is attached to the distal end. The first su...
